i dont expect a lot out of tim boyle, but after watching jared goff all season, i know that he should not be a starting nfl qb.

tim boyle should start regardless of goff's status.

just looking at the box score: 1) that's the warriors D+ team we just lost to at home. 2) why is saban lee on the team and not playing while corey joseph plays 30 minutes? 3) whither saddiq bey? it doesnt seem like he's been very good this season. 4) is stewart hurt? only 16 minutes.

i agree.

the democrats had to get their salt deduction back in there for all their california and new york donors. its another big government spending bill that will result in those invested in the stock market making more money. And just like every big government spending bill: those already in the system will continue to be able to live off the largesse of the american taxpayer.

you just explained the exception to the rule.

we do have the best medical system in the world, we just have a terrible way to pay for it, with all sorts of incentives to waste money and to protect the salaries and profits of those already in the system (like doctors, hospitals, and drug companies).

well, i can give you a big long talk on people not finding individuals personally responsible for their own actions anymore. just take a look at any jury verdict reporter.

there are a lot of problems with that chapter in freakonomics.

i agree. although, i could see it in some blue states like cali.

its such bullshit. they're not even hurt. people seem to forget that people pay good money to watch these guys play and then they rest them.

the lockdown is now for everyone. after that lockdown is over, they are going to do a lockdown for unvaccinated people in conjunction with a national vaccine mandate. https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/19/europe/austria-national-lockdown-intl/index.html

i didnt really follow the rittenhouse thing. what it points out to me is that all americans should get the same "reasonable doubt" that rittenhouse got. and that doesnt happen, and it especially doesnt happen to a lot of black americans.

yes, thank goodness for those early 90s crime bills! lol. around here, crime was up in 2016, and then down in 2017-2019, then up again in 2020 and 2021. still, nothing like the crack era in major cities around the late 80s, early 90s. although i would bet that the murder rate in chicago would be a lot higher now if we still had early 90s level medical treatments.

unless you're going to turn simmons into a center, he'd be taking the ball out of cade's hands and doing nothing to help with spacing. plus philly will want our first round pick next year. now that i think about it, can we trade our first round pick? its already potentially promised to houston.

oh i dont know, we always seem to debate the same stuff on here. lol. 🙂

as you said, the democrats will lose seats because the party in power ALWAYS loses seats. no matter what. if the economy is still doing well and inflation is under control, the democrats will lose less seats. but something will go wrong between now and then - it always does - and the party in power will be blamed regardless of fault. lots of time between now and november 2022.

as a michigan fan every game terrifies me but ohio state. i know theyre going to lose to ohio state and have prepared myself accordingly. every other game they should win but as a michigan fan somehow have this feeling of dread that they will somehow blow it.

how would simmons work with cade when simmons cant shoot?

i'm in chicago, so i dont have to worry about that. and the game should always be on ballys, right?

you get every nhl game on espn+. before you could only do that by buying the "center ice" package on cable/satellite and that cost $150+ per year. now you can get it on espn+ for whatever it is a month and also get all the other stuff on espn+. espn+ is my favorite channel. i love it. hope they get the nba on there soon.

they cared a lot for 40 years when sc was a juggernaut, why dont they care now?

i still have a hard time with this guy looking for trouble and running around with an assault weapon and then claiming self-defense when he gets beat up. i dont think you dont get to instigate and then claim self defense, but i havent been following it close enough to say. the fact that the jury has been out for three days is interesting. im not sure who that benefits. its obvious there is a lot of dissension in the jury room.

in a way, the narrative has become so bad for the dems that unless its a colossal republican wave it will look like the dems did better than expected! but it aint looking good. and lets remember that every administration gets trounced in the first mid terms, even popular ones like obama and reagan. a relatively unpopular president plus inflation? oh boy. landslide.

theyre about to lockdown in germany and austria again despite relatively high levels of vaccination. are you ready for this continued cycle for the next five years? ten?
